Those "pins" aren't really pins but more like small hooks, similar to velcro. I snagged one too a while back trying to wipe off some excess thermal paste. Had to pull the mobo and carefully realign the "bent pin" with a large darning needle while holding the mobo under a magnifying light! Makes yer butt pucker when you hit the power button for the first time after that surgery. I'd try a different power supply if I were you before I pulled the cpu again. Mine didn't boot with the misaligned "pins".
